The road not taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Not so much where you're going, but how you get there, and who you choose to be while getting there.

Good luck, and take care. If you decide to come by Kansas City, beer & barbecue is on me!

I shall be taking up ALL offers from generous Sprint employees in Kansas City, even if it means spending three weeks there! Thank you all for your good wishes.
